Kaspersky has uncovered a sophisticated spyware operation titled Dante, said to be targeting Windows users in Russia and Belarus. It was also found out that the Italian surveillance technology firm Memento Labs created Dante in 2019 after it bought the notorious spyware vendor Hacking Team.
Kaspersky's analysis reveals that this sophisticated spyware compromised several sectors, such as media, educational institutions, and government organizations. The ForumTroll group used the bait of false invitations for a well-known Russian political and economic conference, Primakov Readings.
